Runtime error: assignment to entry in nil map

Question

I am trying to generate a map and then convert that to a yaml file like this:

uid :
      kasi:
        cn: Chaithra
        street: fkmp
      nandan:
        c         


        

Answer 1

You should check if the map is nil and initialize one if it's nil inside the for loop:

if m["uid"] == nil {
    m["uid"] = map[string]T{}
}
